I watched the video closely.
The cheapest won??
Really!
Actually not much can be gained from the video.
A few facts here based on my use and testing of all detectros in video except Mohave.
Deus Hf coil 9” round.
It will outperform most other detectors with same size coil attached in iron.
If we put 11” round coils on all detectors currently made.
Deus x35 Coil,, EQX 800, Rutus Alter 71, Anfibio mulit will earn best marks.
There is a fly in the ointment here though.
Target conductivity.
Higher conductors like silver dimes.
Don’t discount Etrac and CTX.
Lower conductors Deus, Eqx better performers.
A 14khz or 15khz detector as far as finding most nonferous in iron comparing detectors using higher freq with same size coils are at a disadvantage.
Lots of variables involved with nonferrous and nails/iron.
Which detector answers more equations it is subjected to I say key. Ups ones odds.
A detector that can separate unmask while at the same time getting good depth ups one’s odds.
A person can take any detecfor with smaller coil and make finds.
But even here if detector models are compared with smaller coil use. Some will have advantages.
Anfibio 19 and multi with smaller coils good choice.
Nokta Impact good choice.
Eqx With 6” Coil good choice.
Naturally in sites with more modern junk trash, this what hold for in nail and iron performance. Performance in junk nonferrous can be different.
Again Eqx with 6” coil and fbs/fbs 2 units can be very performing in these sites.
And looks like whomever has Mohave ad it breaks they can put in trashcan like a butane lighter that is exhausted. Seems support is lacking.
Little vid here I did showing Etrac strength on higher conductor below plane of nail vs EQX 800 Park 2.

So,
A few last comments here.
You take detectors wearing stock coils like Racers, F75, F70, Nokta fors core, AT pro, At Max into a ferrous polluted old (with little modern trash) site with goal of locating all nonferrous. Try it.
But guess what.
You go back and hunt with detectors like EQX, Deus with even a low freq coil and hF coil, Rutus, Anfibio 19, Nokta relic and multi and multi Kruzer detectors, detectorist has high HIGH odds of locating nonferous left behind by those other units. This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Now will the additional nonferrous contain any nice finds ? Your guess is as good a signal mine. I CAN’T say. Could be though.
Detectors are usually priced like they are for a reason. Manufacturers know exactly where their units fit in innthe grand scheme. Hence priced accordingly.
And so far I see this pricing is reflective of actual performance. If anything price reductions should happen somewhat with Etrac and CTX.
So should a guy get an aftermarket coil or stick with the mfg stock?
